Attention: you can hold not just one but TWO dogs in Sakuna

Can You Pet the Dog? on Twitter

this seemed like a thing people on my timeline would like to know

ONE IS A CHUNKY CAT HELLO,

dual weilding.

Oh this looks very cute

it DOES, it's a farming/adventure game it looks like?

while you were busy studying the blade, I was studying the dog

Game of the decade

It's a hybrid! You grow rice, specifically. You do everything, planting each seedling, hoeing the feild, controlling the flood systems, drying, hucking, polishing, etc

and the rest is a side scrolling action game

It was okay! The combat could have used more polishing to be honest, but it was a solid, enjoyable game

sounds like a good lazy afternoon game...

I heard that the rice farming mechanics are complex enough that there's an "Farming Guide" button that just takes you to the official Japanese Government Guide To Growing Rice

LOL not that site specifically, but there is an extremely elaborate explanation of every part of the process

because you do have to take care of all of it yourself
